Im curious what they do on kickoffs. This is all new for Mevis. First off, I hope we kick off.....ALOT, but I dont want to keep giving the 9ers the ball at the 35 or 40 every time either.

There are a lot of layers to it,” McVay said. “:I still do have a lot of confidence in Josh Karty. He's not going anywhere but based on some of the things that we tried to evaluate throughout the course of the week – those guys both did a really good job. I was really pleased and really impressed and proud of how Josh handled himself this week. I think he's got a really bright future. I think he's done a lot of really good things for us. All the things that went into it in terms of just ultimately in its simplest form, who do I think gives us the best chance to have successful outcomes particularly in that operation with the given factors on Sunday against the Niners?”

I didn’t mind McVay not going for a field goal. The offensive rhythm seems to be peaking. Keep pushing it. Mevis got a great intro to the NFL going 6/6 on XP! Maybe there will be a field goal indoors at SoFI next week in the Seattle game.

Then again, the Rams return coverage is a bit vulnerable, more on punts than kickoffs. What might they do with kickoffs against Seattle?
